"Yaga."

"Waste."

Chengde, in the Japanese headquarters, after listening to the telegram from the base camp, Hattori Kotaro was so angry that he scolded:

"I only know how to point fingers on the map, and I never consider reality when making decisions.

"I actually want to increase troops to Chengde."

"Don't use their rotten brains to think about it, can Chengde be defended by the imperial army! How strong is the strength of the Eighth Route Army, how big is the gap between the strength of the two sides, the Taiyuan Campaign, the Pingxian Campaign, can't you still see clearly! “

"A bunch of old trash."

After scolding for a long time, Kotaro Hattori, who was still angry, overturned the table, and all kinds of documents were scattered all over the ground.

The staff officer on the side silently lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Orders from the base camp.

The 1st Division continued to hold on to Chengde and must block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and the telegram also said that in view of the difficult task, there would be four divisions.

A total of 80,000 people, including a flying brigade and a heavy artillery brigade, reinforced Chengde from the hinterland of the Kwantung Army.

At that time, the total number of troops around Chengde will reach 150,000.

It also mobilized a large number of cement, steel and other materials, anti-aircraft guns, new anti-tank guns and other weapons to enhance the strength of the Chengde defenders.

The telegram ended with a request to annihilate the main force of the Chengde Wai Independent Regiment.

But when he saw this telegram and saw that reinforcements had arrived, including the flying brigade and the heavy artillery brigade, General Hattori was not only happy, but on the contrary, he was angry and scolded.

The staff officer understood.

On paper, the orders of the base camp are not difficult to do,

The 150,000-strong army is twice as much as the Eighth Route in Pingxian County, which is currently entrenched, plus the heavy artillery brigade provides artillery support, and the flying brigade provides air supremacy.

Northeast Industries can also provide sufficient logistical supplies.

Moreover, at present, the troops of the Eighth Route in Pingxian County are being assembled, and the theoretical foothold is not stable, and the 150,000 army is very simple to hold Chengde, and there is also a chance to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Road.

The gap in weapons can be made up by tactics, and tanks can be limited and then eliminated by terrain, etc.

But here's the thing.

The eight-way commander is steady and steady, not rash to advance,

After arriving outside Chengde, he did not rush to attack, but put up a defensive formation and conducted a large-scale training in Pingxian, obviously intending to launch an attack after the troops were assembled.

Although it is not clear what means were used, in a short period of time, the Eighth Road has built a large number of fortress-level concrete fortress groups around Pingxian County.

Even a dozen battleship-class heavy guns were laid.

Behind the Pingxian position, there was also an artillery group of more than three hundred 125 guns.

These alone have made them invincible.

The attack of the imperial army in any direction was carried out by the arrival in the reinforced concrete fortress of the Seypriot class, as well as the long-range shelling of the naval guns.

Even the 240 howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade could not destroy those fortress-level reinforced concrete fortresses, let alone face more than 300 enemy guns

The suppression of the 125 howitzers, the heavy artillery brigade simply did not have the opportunity to carry out artillery support.

Unless the Imperial Army can create the kind of ground-penetrating aerial bomb that the other side has.

Let's not say that domestic research has no clue at all.

Even if the empire had, it would be difficult to destroy those fortresses.

The enemy has more than a hundred fighters, even if the pilots of the opposing side are inexperienced, but there are more of them, and the fighters are more advanced, and a flying brigade may not be able to seize air supremacy.

Moreover, the terrain around Chengde is relatively flat, which is very suitable for mechanized troops, and tracked tanks can quickly reach any county.

Luring the enemy deep, the infantry interspersed with encirclement, there is simply no such condition.

The enemy has more than five hundred tanks.

A wing was sent to lure the enemy, but before the predetermined position was reached, the opponent's armored forces were afraid that they had already made a detour to surround them. Interspersed at night also proved to be unfeasible because of night vision devices and forts.

Not to mention that the scale of the eight roads is still expanding rapidly,

"Yaga."

After being furious for a long time, Hattori Kotaro barely stabilized his mood and reluctantly accepted the reality.

Then he walked over to the map and fell into deep thought,

It is impossible to retreat, and he can only stick to Chengde according to the orders of the base camp, otherwise as soon as his order to retreat is issued, his commander-in-chief position will be withdrawn, and Ji Zhi will have to return to China to be tried by a military court.

After thinking for a long time, Hattori ordered:

"Order, the 119th and 122nd Divisions will establish defensive lines in Heiseong, Longhua, Lincheng, etc..."

"Command the 73rd Separate Mixed Brigade ...

Annihilating the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Hattori didn't think about it at all, and what he was thinking about now was how to block the attack of the enemy's armored torrent of more than 500 tanks under the condition of inferior artillery fire and loss of air supremacy.

Thinking about it, Hattori could only think of using the large depth position to consume the offensive forces of the Eighth Route layer by layer, and then wait for an opportunity to cut off its supply lines.

Mountain city.

Inside the residence of the U.S. military

"A bunch of idiots."

Weidemeyer looked at the stack of fiat currencies of 1,000 yuan on the table, lifted them away, and then scolded:

"Waste"

"Pig Luo."

.a.. m scolded for a long time, scolded all the dirty words in this life, scolded a little dry, Wei Demai had to stop, took a sip of water, and gasped a few breaths,

During this period, because I was too eager to drink water, I choked and coughed violently several times.

No wonder Weidemeyer is so angry,

He thought about it with all his heart, spoke painstakingly, and tried his best to persuade the Congress and the president, and finally asked the country to increase weapons and economic support for preserved fruits.

And for what?

It's not that I hope that the mountain town government and the preserved fruit troops will become stronger, and then block the group of red that suddenly rises for the United States. Avoid the emergence of a power that is at odds with the United States.

Outcome.

The four major families embezzled U.S. funds.

In order to retain the lost talents, retain the army, and engulf the millions of tons of food that the Eighth Route planned to rescue the victims, in just a few months, the people drank to quench their thirst and issued more than ten times the total amount of currency before.

Cut off his hands and feet.

The issuance of credit money was originally a supplement to the economic power of a regime, and this group of people actually used it as their main source of finance, accounting for more than 95 percent, which made Weidemeyer angry and eye-opening.

Weidemeyer couldn't figure it out.

What's the use of printing so much money?

Could it be that this group of people does not know that currency needs physical support, and if they do so, their currency will become waste paper, the credit of (political) power will be sharply reduced, and the people's will be completely lost?

Originally, although the fiat currency has been depreciating, it is still quite tough, and the Japanese-occupied areas have recognized this currency, and after the emergence of food stamps, its status has not declined too much, and it is still the mainstream currency.

But now it's good, it has suddenly become waste paper and has been directly abandoned by the market.

Of course, there is also the reason for the existence of food stamps, if there are no food stamps, then the fiat currency is still the mainstream currency of the market, and at most it depreciates seriously.

It is like now, directly abandoned by the market.

The currency of a town power hairstyle has no credit, and the currency in circulation is issued by others, and there is no need to do anything, and it is only a matter of time before he falls.

Rubbish.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Demai scolded for the last time, and then suppressed the idea of putting the child, and began to think carefully about the teammates he was looking for, even if he was crying, he could only continue to help.

After thinking about it for a long time, Weidemeyer didn't think of a way.

Now that the fiat currency is hopeless, the only way is to reissue one currency.

The question is,

Any currency needs to be supported, that is, credit endorsement, industrial support, such as the US dollar, relying on the credit of the US government, as well as the strong industrial and economic strength of the United States.

In the Republic of China, after the fiat currency, the credit of the town government was completely bankrupt, and it was also a weak chicken, the industrial capacity was poor and white, and the industrial, agricultural and financial industries were completely unable to support the issuance of new currency, and there were food stamps circulating in the market, and the new currency input was simply impossible.

As for the complete ban on food stamps and the use of military power to issue currency, Weidemeyer also thought about it, but at present, the whole country has already circulated food stamps, and the mountain city also needs to use food stamps to buy supplies, which will only make the mountain city's economy completely collapse.

If you don't get it, just finish playing.

So there must be an anchor that can be widely recognized by the market to issue money.

He thought that the new currency would be directly linked to the U.S. dollar, and that the new currency would be issued directly based on the U.S. dollar, but this would require the Shancheng government to have a large amount of U.S. dollar foreign exchange, that is, it would need to lend a large amount of U.S. dollars to the Shancheng government.

In view of the recent behavior of the four major families, Weidemeyer directly abandoned this idea,

Direct loans, I'm afraid it's not to send money to the four major families.

Thinking about it, Wei Demai's head is big, although he has a high degree of education and rich experience in the army, but in terms of economy, he is just a novice, and in the end, a staff officer next to him gave him advice:

"General, the people of the Republic of China used to use silver dollars as currency, although the town government banned the circulation of silver dollars in 35 years, but now in the market, there are still a lot of silver dollars in circulation, and there is a lot of silver in the hands of the preserved fruits, and they can also collect a lot of silver in the market."

"Our country is still enforcing the Silver Act and raising the purchase price of silver."

"We can buy silver from the Republic of China at a high price in large quantities, and we will buy as much as they sell, and then let them issue new currencies with the support of US dollar foreign exchange."

Finally, the staff officer added:

"With the current situation in the Republic of China, even if we collect all the silver, there is not much pressure on us.

"Great idea!"

Weidemeyer's heart was suddenly moved,

The Silver Act, an Act enacted in June '34, authorizes the U.S. Treasury to purchase silver at home and abroad at its discretion to stabilize the price of silver at $1.29 an ounce.

As a trader, as a market maker, and as the party with the largest silver reserves in the world, the Ministry of Finance actually made a lot of money in this bill by arbitrarily controlling the price of silver in the market.

Unless there is a super-large amount of silver that pulls down the market price all of a sudden, the Treasury will always be the winner.

The international status of the US dollar is definitely much better than that of the so-called food stamps, and it is more popular with businessmen and can easily support the issuance of money.

"But the Yang group of moths..."

But thinking of the four strange families, Weidemeyer had a headache for these four families, which were more disgusting than the rats in the house.

Rats are not as stealable as these people.

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to send someone to supervise the foreign exchange circulation of its central bank, and then..."

The staff officer smiled slightly and continued to come up with ideas.

"Good idea."

Weidemeyer's eyes lit up.

In this way, the financial affairs of the mountain town government will be completely controlled, which is equivalent to economic colonization. In the United States, on the other hand, it only needs to print a batch of dollars, and it doesn't even need to worry about inflation.

A country with a population of more than 400 million people, what a huge market, which can accommodate billions of dollars,

"You come up with a preliminary plan."

Weidemeyer said to the staff officer that although the American air force and bomber fleet have withdrawn, the material and economic support for the preserved fruit has not stopped, and the import of weapons has not stopped, coupled with the gradual growth of the Eighth Road, so the current influence of the United States in the mountain city is greater than before.

It's not hard to do that.

The next day.

Outside Chengde.

Heisei.

"The little devils are building positions in Pingcheng, Longhua, and Lincheng?"

Looking at the latest reconnaissance information, Ding Wei touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then understood the devil's thoughts:

"The little devil is planning to block layer by layer through the large depth position and consume my offensive strength."

"Ah, what about yourself?"

Ding Wei's side, a new staff officer immediately asked.

He remembered that Regiment Commander Ding said that in the blitzkrieg of armored clusters, what he was most afraid of was the large-depth and multi-level blocking, so that the attacking troops would easily fall into the quagmire and be unable to move, and finally they would not be able to attack, and they would be counterattacked by the opponent.

"What should I do?"

Ding Wei smiled calmly:

"Don't do anything, let's continue according to the original plan, and then attack after the troops are trained."

In the stunned eyes of the staff officer, Ding Wei smiled and continued:

"Still, I'm really grateful to the little devil."

"Huh?"

Ding Wei's words made the strategists even more confused.

However, Ding Wei did not explain, but carefully studied the devil's defensive position, and was still very calm.

At this time, Grand Master Ding was sneering in his heart.

Logically speaking, to fight the three eastern provinces, blitzkrieg is the best choice, and it can end the battle quickly!

But is the purpose of the Separate Regiment to end the fighting quickly?

He is worried that he has no place and no time to train!

Ping'an County.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong received information about the new business.

"It's all business information?!"

Looking at the materials filled with dozens of ten-wheeled trucks, Li Yunlong was very surprised.

"Yes."

After Chen Fan nodded, several people chatted for a long time, and then he left directly.

"Execute devil war criminals."

After that, Zhao Gang opened the business information, flipped through the pages and looked at it, and then he sprayed his mouth and sighed in a tone:

"Awesome."

"I actually collected the evidence of all the devils, and every devil who committed a crime was not left behind."

"Then don't let one go."

Li Yunlong flashed sharply.

The support from Brother Chen has completely let go of his hands and feet, and the tank business that started in July last year has now increased the price of a devil nearly twenty times.

Otherwise, they can give others more than seven tanks at once.

"Nature."

Political Commissar Zhao is also murderous.

When Political Commissar Zhao turned to the price, only the first page made his eyebrows jump, and his tone was full of surprise:

"This price is interesting."

"Something."

Li Yunlong looked at it curiously:

"Yo ho, you can still explode silver by killing little devils."

"There are a lot of little devils, this business is profitable."

After muttering, Li Yunlong didn't pay much attention to it.

Now with food stamps, silver dollars, that is, silver, it doesn't do much. But when he saw Lao Zhao's deep eyes, he immediately understood that his old partner was thinking about bad water.

And eighty percent is related to silver.

"Lao Zhao, what do you want to do?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"Do you remember America's Silver Act?"

Zhao Gang asked.

"Of course I do."

Hearing these four words, Li Yunlong also flashed.

"The Yankees used this bill back then, but our country suffered a big loss, and almost set the economy back for several years."

Grand Master Li's tone was gloomy,

He had read a lot of books, read a lot of secret information, and knew very well that the Yankee was a good guy on the surface, but in reality, he was not a thing at all.

"Then we'll make them vomit some blood."

Political Commissar Zhao squinted his eyes, his tone was gloomy, and he paused, and he had an aggravated tone:

"No, let him vomit a mouthful of blood."

"What are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong was a little curious.

Although he read some economic books, in this regard, he is not a little worse than Lao Zhao.

"Let's get a little bit out of the Germans first."

Zhao Gang smiled:

"Let's just say that to study space teleportation technology, we need silver, a huge amount of silver, and then let the Americans know about this news."

Grand Master Li was suddenly shocked.

He is no longer the big man Lao Li, the current Li Yunlong, a horse with rich knowledge, astronomy and geography, economy and politics, military science and technology, all have a lot of ink.

Relying on his wealth of knowledge, he easily thought of the subsequent development.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, you kid is insidious enough."

Grand Master Li laughed:

"I like it, though."
